The "Central Panel from the Threshold of Paradise" is a renowned work by Viktor Vasnetsov, a prominent Russian artist known for his role in reviving the interest in medieval Russian history through his paintings. Created between the years 1885 and 1896, this piece is part of a larger triptych designed for the interior of the Kirillov Church at the Abramtsevo estate, located near Moscow. The estate was a hub for the Slavophile movement and attracted many artists who were part of the Russian revivalist trend.

Vasnetsov's central panel is a vivid embodiment of the Russian Orthodox concept of paradise. It is characterized by a harmonious blend of religious symbolism and the artist's own creative interpretation. The panel depicts a serene and idyllic landscape that is meant to represent the Garden of Eden, filled with lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and the Tree of Life. The imagery is designed to evoke a sense of divine tranquility and spiritual fulfillment.

The work is notable for its intricate detail and use of color, which reflects Vasnetsov's skill in combining traditional iconography with a more modern, realist style. This synthesis makes the "Central Panel from the Threshold of Paradise" not only a significant religious artwork but also an important example of Russian art at the turn of the 20th century. It showcases Vasnetsov's dedication to creating art that was deeply rooted in Russian culture and history, while also being accessible to contemporary audiences.

The "Central Panel from the Threshold of Paradise" is often studied within the context of Vasnetsov's broader oeuvre, which includes other famous works such as "The Bogatyrs" and "The Knight at the Crossroads."
